My firm does a lot of closings for investors each week for property in and around Birmingham Alabama. 

I have realized that my personal experiences working directly with developers as well as individual private clients; in addition to my experience working with a design and build firm has provided me a unique field of knowledge that I believe will help me in my future endeavors, as well as giving me the opportunity to help others in my community as I continue to network and prepare to dive into the work of real estate investment. 

I am working with a small brokerage firm Columbus, OH and am learning a lot, but ideally I am looking to start building a portfolio in multi-family.
